LARD,—Those who would wish greatly to reduce
their expense for light, should certainly purchase one of
the above named Lamps, as by their use there Is a clear
saving of at least two-t birds of the expense over 011,and
the lieht obtained from this Is pure and brilliant, and
wholly free from smoke or disagreeable smell. We would
here slate that Carr's Patent it the only one worthy the
attention of the public, as it is the only one that is 'poll
cable to every variety or pattern of Lamps, and the only
one that will born Lard wr.t.c, at any temperature of cold
or heat. We have, in the short space of three mouths,
sold several thousands: and with scarce an exception,
those using them have expressed themselves highly pleas.
ed with them. and fully convir,ced of the great economy
by their me. as well as their superiority over either oil
or candles, in re; and to cleanliness and light.
The above named lamps can he had only at

excellent light—equal to any of the ordinary modes of
lighting a house, at about onedhird the cost, and wholly
free from smoke or other disagreeeble smell. We lake a
pleasure in recommending these lamps to the nubile, as by
their nse there is a great saving over either sperm
or lard oil. or even candles; and we believe them to
be noire cleanly and less troublesome than either.

TO Tli. PUBLIC, and particular/1s to my former
patrons of this city:—Having retired from the
practice of Medicine, I may be permitted to say, thnt It
has fallen to the lot of but few persons to have enjoyed
so liberal or large a share of ohstretrical Practice as my
own has been for tilt last 30 or 40 years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and i he
fact of my having been twice, since (820, associated with
Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a
period of five years.) enables me to judge fully of the
merits of his pills.
So convenient, so efficient, and yet su safe, did ! esteem
these pills.that for the last five yenta in my practice for
the cure of chronic diseases, of whatever name, and those
of females in particular, I have used more of them than
all other medicines.
Like every other medicine, this must fail In some in
stances, but in my hands there has been less disappoint.
meat and more satisfaction in the administration of this
one remedy than of ail others; its good effects sometimes
quite astonishing me.
If my patient required a safe aperient medicine either
...fore or after parturition, the Wilson's pi.ls were just
the thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness or inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease 31 my patient. the pills were just the thing I
wanted.
If I treated a case requiring an emmenagogue, the
Wilson's pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpitation, headache. flushed countenance, or other
difficulties, indicating a disturbance of the circulatory
and secretory systems. annoyed my patient at the .turn
of life,' the Wilson's pins were just the thing I wattled.
Thus, without restuet to the name, a disease might
happen to wear at the time I have had it under treat
meat, particular indications or symptons arising, were
always moat promptly and most happily met by the
Wilson's pills.
That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes ap.
parent', opposite ones, In which I have used these pills,
should be caved more readily by them than by any other
remedy, may at fi rat seam amnia and contradictory, but
why it is se Is as clear to my mind as that a great many
persons should become thirsty from as many different
PUMA, and yet all require that common and greatest of
all blessings, water to quench their thirst.
In conclusion, it is due the reputation of the medicine
and the public, to say decidedly and encondltionally, that
the Wilson's pillearetheouly combination I have ever
met with In my longeourse of practiee.thst really pow
eesresanything curative or specific for sick headache,

An African's Revenge.
The following thrilling tale we hairs
translated from a passage in Eugene Sue't
French novel of Atar Gul. The eceno
is
laid in Gaudaloupe. It is merely neces
sary to premise that Mar Gul is a favorite
slave, whom Colonel Willis brought from
Africa severl yea's before the event demi•
bed is supposed to have taken place.. Ater
Gul always bad appeared faithful to his
master, and graitful for his kindness to him
—but in secret, he brooded over the loss
of We liberty, and resolved to be deeply re•
venged. Suailes shone on his countenance
'hut deadly hatred rankled in his heart.
When Atar Gul had nearly reached the
'summit of the mountain, the sun had al.
ready risen, and the lofty heights of Le
Soa.brrarie thew their shades to a great dis.
tance across the valleys below. As he
was about entering a sort of dell, formed of
Ihuge blocks of granite, which seemed to
have been fantastically heaped up around,
he healed a fearful eound, and stopped
short—it was the sharp hiss of a serpent I
He soon after beard the flapping of wings
over his head, and on looking up he saw
one of those large birds, called Secretaries,
or Man of War Birds, common in tropical
climates, which having already described
the serpent. was making wide circles in
the air, but approaching nearer his detain-.
ed prey every moment.
The serpent seemed aware of the inferi
ority of hhi force, and was rapidly gliding
towards his den, when the bird, apparent
ly aware of his intention, descended with
the rapidity of lightning, and al.ghted in
his path, and with hie large wings, which
terminated with a bony protuberance, and
served bim both as a war-club, and shield,
be effectully prevented the retreat of the
venomous rertile.
The serpent now became enraged, and ,
the beautiful and variegated colors of his
(skin sparkled in the sun like rings of gold
and azure. His hertul was frightfully retvol..
len with rage and venorrf-- he darted out
his forked tongue, and filled the' air with
hisses.
The huge bird extended one of his
wings, and with a lunging eye on the seri
pent, advacced to the conflict; but his wary
antagonist watched his movements, and
with quick minions of his body to the right
tend left, evaded his attacks, until finding
that this mode of warfare would not long
avail him he at
. length darted at the bird,
and vainly attempted to fix his poisonous
fangs ibbis body, and crush him in his
folds. But the Secretary caught him in
Ore ofiliti-olaws, sod with a furious Wive
of his beak, fractured his skull. The ser,
pent struggled violently fer a few .momenta

But ere the bird had time to enjoy the _
fruits of his victory, the report of a musS,
ket was heard. and the Secretary in his
turn, lay dead by the side of his venomoni
antagr ntst. Atir Gul turned his head and
'saw Theodore standing ou a rock above
him with a fowling piece in his hand.
Well, Atar Gul, said the young man, in
sliding down "tom the summit of the rock,
was not that well don!'{
It was a good shot, master—but I am
sorry that you killed the bird—for these
Secretaries wage war with the venemotie
serpents, with which our mountains are iii- .

reptile—which was 7 or 8 feet long and 4
or 5 inches in diameter,

Noble fellow! said Theodore, as he assis

serpent from the body.
It is a female, whispered Ater Gul to
himself, and the male cannot be far off.
They proceeded towards Col. Willis's
habitation-the black dragging after him
the bleeding carcase of the serpent. The
house in which the Colonel resid' d, like
most of the houses in that climate,consisted
